“The terrorist Ibrahim al-Nabulsi was killed in the city of Nablus,” the Israeli army said in a statement, adding that another terrorist who was staying in the house also died. According to Israeli forces, they launched a shoulder-fired missile at the house where the terrorists were hiding, and conducted a raid and arrested four others. The Palestine Red Crescent Society said its medics treated 69 people for gunshot wounds in the Nablus area, at least four of them in critical condition. 

 This attack came just two days after Israel and the Islamic Jihad Movement (PIJ) in the Gaza Strip reached an Egypt-brokered ceasefire intended to end three days of the bloody fighting that left 44 Palestinians dead, including 15 children.  Another 360 people were injured and many houses destroyed.
